Chipotle Chicken Salad Wraps Lunch Recipe

ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds. Chicken fillet / breast
• 1/2 sliced ​​onion
• 1 1/2 tbsp. Primal Kitchen avocado oil
• 1/2 tsp. Chili powder
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. Garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/3 cup Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo
• 1 sliced ​​avocado
• 5 slices of cooked bacon
• 1-2 roasted red peppers, sliced
• 1-2 heads of green lettuce

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the chicken and the sliced ​​onion with the avocado oil, chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt and the juice of half a lime.

Place the chicken and onion on a sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Chop the chicken and mix the chipotle and lime mayo with the chicken and onion mixture.

Place a square piece of parchment in a diamond shape in front of you, with the sharp edges facing north, south, east, and west. Place 3 pieces of lettuce next to each other horizontally, then 2 or 3 more pieces of lettuce vertically so that you have a bed of lettuce for your wrap.

Spread a scoop of chicken salad on top of the salad wrap. Place a slice of bacon and red pepper on top, along with a few slices of avocado. Carefully take the bottom piece of parchment (the piece closest to you) and fold it over the wrap like you’re rolling a burrito. Wrap it tightly so that the lettuce folds over the fillings on the parchment. Tuck the sides of the parchment towards the center and keep rolling the wrap so that it resembles a wrap or burrito shape.

Halve the wrap and secure it with a couple of toothpicks so that it doesn’t dissolve.

Repeat with the remaining wraps. When you’re ready to eat, peel the parchment away from the salad as you eat it.
